That's BS!!!!!!!! As a former Trucker, this really bugs the piss out of me!! Evidently it doesn't matter what the american people/companies think or say. Let alone proven through many experiences within that 25 mile allowence. Without the added man power needed to inspect the 5k mexican trucks that pass thru just 2 of the border crossings, our highways are going to be more dangerous to travel, especially in the southern states. On the lighter side though, I wonder how many of the stolen trucks that are being driven in Mexico, will be driven back into the US??
vid no works for me
Already have with all the illegals driving on them - with no insurance or accountablity.
Four and a halfies.
Clink on that link, then scroll down till you see other videos, scroll thru them until you see one called "Welcome Mexican Truckers" Hope that helps
wow I can't believe that. Makes me sick.
I'm guessing that at least the Texas DPS is gonna be all over those trucks from Mexico. I bet they're gonna get shut down right and left. If you think the trucks are bad you should see the Mexican trailers.
The thing that concerns me is the driver logs. A mexican driver can drive up to the border after say 12 hours of driving, pencil in his log and keep right on going.
They're trying to justify it by saying that American trucks can go into Mexico now... Well that's BS! No American trucking company will send their trailers down to Mexico anyway for the simple reason that there is too much theft. For example, the major trucking company I work for used to have trailers that ran into Mexico. We had to weld steel mesh over all the lights and they still got ripped off. Also every time a trailer came back from Mexico it had 8 bald or flat tires on it. They'd rip off our decent tires and put thier worn out on. So that "former DOT offical" that CNN had on knows nothing what-so-ever about the real world.
This thing is a bad deal all around... Thanks alot Bush.

FYI: It's part of the NAFTA agreement signed during Clinton's administration.

""""""""""""this brings me to tonight,,,
-Southern Pacific Railroad has operations in mexico and employs mexican Engineers to transport from Mexico to the US. Southern pacific has convinced the homeland security and the congress to allow the trains to steam forward past the boarder and avoid inspections so the engineers can save time and get home to thier families quicker. If we think now is a time to be worried about jobs, just wait until illeagals arrive by the box car load. Dont be amazed if you hear that a train pulling box cars modified with greyhound bus type interiors are serving refreshments to illegals as the make the long trek to a far off distant location , services which the tax payers dollars of the US and Canada have footed. If you hear this, remember you heard it first here. There is a new plan in motion now like Nafta which combines industries resources from the tip of south america up the the northern reaches of Canada. Its coming, be watchful.""""""""""""
